Lady Gaga is one of the most ambitious pop stars of the decade, and yet it sounds like her next album ARTPOP will be a spectacle even by her standards. In recent months she has been busy writing and recording the album and designing an accompanying app for a “multimedia experience,” but based on her chat with fans on LittleMonsters.com, the app is just the beginning. Gaga wants to split the genre-hopping ARTPOP into a radio-friendly volume and an experimental volume, released six months apart. Read on to see all the details she revealed in the chat.

Mother Monster explained she was “sort of thinking that VOL.1 should have all the commercials songs, and then save the experimental meterial. but to be honest even the experimental stuff is catchy.VOL.1 is a bit more modern.” Gaga also gave some clues as to the fate of “Princess Die”: “I don’t think Princess Die will make the cut, but I wrote another version of princess die that is uptempo…totally diffrent song. Princess Die isn’t as good as all the other songs I wrote.”

The singer also spoke about her growing infatuation with hip-hop (this year she has released a trap rap and collaborated with Kendrick Lamar and Azealia Banks): “[One song] is a hip-hop/j-pop/pop song. And it’s not hip-hop in the way you know, it’s more underground chicago gay club trap and it’s very diffrent from Azealia Banks music because she’s more 90’s house.”

Well that’s disapointing, I was hoping she really come out of the park with something crazy original and different. I see now that this album is likely destined to be just another ordinary pop album. She said Born This Way was going to be the album of the decade, not even. It took madonna like 6 albums and a decade to start drying up. Gaga is fizzling at three, and half the time.

I’m holding out hope that Vol. 2 will deliver on the crazy/original front.

That mysterious photo of Malia Obama in a Pro Era shirt may have flummoxed the Secret Service, but it's the latest indicator suggesting hip-hop revivalism is for the kids.
